"That's Novus Ordo garbage."
But they've never been in the Novus Ordo. They were raised as a traditional Catholic.
They aren't legit trads then. If there are trad priests telling people they haven't committed mortal sins then those trad priests are crypto-modernists.
As I said before, the same garbage is used to justify bogus annulments today.
Tele, that sounds even more wrong than the definition I read from the Catechism. I think the Catechism purposefully says "full consent of the will"
Do you think you're not giving full consent of the will when you do something? That seems very, very presumptuous to me. In dreams perhaps, under the influence of intoxicants, or under extreme duress perhaps. In the course of ordinary events? No.
and "sufficient reflection" for a reason. If it had just said "consent of the will" and "reflection", I would agree with you completely, but it doesn't say that.
Sufficient reflection means just that "sufficient." As in - "that's gravely wrong, I shouldn't do it"
An act on the spur of the moment, like a blasphemy one utters without intending it - a person hasn't sufficiently reflected.
Punching someone immediately in a moment of rage without having planned to?
That's not sufficient reflection,
etc.
